LYONS, N.

The bridegroom became intensely angry and fired both barrels of gun loaded with fine bird shot into the crowd. John Johnson fell wounded and was carried home He died Wednesday night. What can be done with Badger is puzzling the brains of the rural lawyers in the locality. Badger has not been arrested for the shooting.

Dynamite on a Church Step.

NEWARK, Dec. 9.-Quitea stir was created in the village of Iryington yesterday by the discovery of dynamite bomb on the steps of the Reformed church.

. A FAD IN JEWELRY.
Hiding Lady Loves Likeness in thu
 Heart of Silver Dollar.

Heart of Silver Dollar.
 "I gave you silver dollar for some cigars half an hour ago. Will you look over your money drawer and see if it has been passed out?'
 It was in Chestnut street cigar store late Saturday afternoon. A well dressed young fellow was the speaker; his face wore wor- ried and anxious look, and betrayed consid- erable perturbation of spirit over the loss of the silver dollar. The dealer found that he had just eleven of the coins, and he spread them in row on the counter The young man took them up one by one, weighed each in turn in his hand, and an expression of vex- ation overspread his face as he laid the last down very carefully and murmured:
 ssI knew couldn't tell that way"
 Then he went at them again. This time he grasped the dollar firmly with one hand and pressed his nail upon the letter s'E" in 'sstates" At the eleventh dollar, to which he applied the nail of the little finger, all the others having been broken in the fray, there came sudden change in the appearance of the coin. Half of it slid one way and half the other, and in the lower half, covered with a flat crystal, was the miniature of an extreme ly pretty girl. The young man heaved a sigh of relief, laid down a greenback in exchange and left the store, ruefully regarding his broken finger nails.
 He was one of the numerous victims of a fad that has lately struck Philadelphia with all the vigor of oddity and responsiveness com. bined. The pocket pieces are made of two coins hollowed out and fitted together with such exactness that they cannot be distin- guished from a genuine coin even by mi croscope A picture of the owners best girl is the correct thing to go inside, and the fad dist may pay from $6 to $35 for the fame.- Philadelphia News
